Recently, Warriors owner Lacob participated in "The TK Show" and talked about the luxury tax.

Reporter: "Have you considered falling below the luxury tax line this year to prepare for salary space in the next few years?"

Lacob: "We have indeed considered this issue, and I do not deny it. I remember that if you want to avoid repeated luxury taxes, it seems that you need to Staying below the tax line two years out of four. That's definitely a good thing from a long-term financial perspective, but it's hard to do because I would always, half-jokingly, blame the front office, like Dunleavy and others, and say, 'Look, here we are again. Come on, the salary is well above the luxury tax line. ’ And they would look at me and say, ‘Isn’t that what you want to do? ’ They’re right. We want to win and we want to stay competitive. So time and time again we made the decision to spend money and go all out to win. Fortunately, I can afford these expenses. "

"But I guess one day, for example, when it really makes sense for us to control the salary below the luxury tax line, or even drop below the salary cap, we may do that. That day may come, but it's definitely not today. "
